Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blackburn

I am soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Blackburn but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Lloyds are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

The solicitor being on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is required to advise Lloyds of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Blackburn.

Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Blackburn even if I’m not buying or selling a house, for instance where I wish to buy a shop in Blackburn with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society?

Our comparison service is mainly used to get a quote from domestic conveyancing solicitors in Blackburn but we have set out towards the bottom of this page some Blackburn commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to enquire with the solicitors directly to see if they are also authorised to represent Leeds Building Society

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Blackburn I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackburn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I was recommended by numerous property agents in Blackburn to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over another?

We refuse to offer any commission for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My step-father has recommend that I instruct his conveyancers in Blackburn. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Blackburn conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to seek referrals from friends or relatives who have used the solicitor that you are contemplating using.

Finally our conveyancing in Blackburn completes on Friday, yet the people I am purchasing from has asked to move out the next day at midday. Do I agree to such a plan?

Where you need a bank loan then your lawyer will require that the premises arevacant on Friday - the mortgage company will compel it.
